Netherlands Immigration Numbers Plummet | Amsterdam News

Highly skilled workers from outside the EU are plummeting in the Netherlands—down nearly 50% since 2022—with India, Turkey, Russia, and China hit hardest. Overall immigration also fell for the third straight year, though lower-paid job seekers are slightly up. Asylum centers remain strained not from new arrivals but from permit holders stuck without housing, while asylum grants dropped sharply. Family reunification topped arrivals (over 20%), fueled by partners and relatives of working migrants, followed by education and Ukrainian refugees under temporary protection. Despite government efforts to lure talent via tax incentives, fewer skilled workers are coming—creating a complex balancing act.
